Instructional Ideas

• Have your class take notes; you can cover the sentence types on one day, and the sentence combining the next

Classroom Considerations

• Students should have a general idea of what a subject, predicate, sentence, comma, conjunction, and semicolon are before the presentation

Pros

• Sentence types and other grammatical terms are all paired with examples
• Presentation uses underlining and color to emphasize certain elements

Cons

• Since the presentation is in PDF format, the final slide includes both the sentences to combine and the answers
